The expression "soul food" originated in the mid-1960s, when "soul" was a common word used to describe African-American culture. At its core, soul food is down-home cooking that's been passed down through many generations, with its roots in the rural South. I call my food soul food because I put my heart and soul into preparing it.

[@lisab.9956]

They were saying "candied yams." Based on appearance, it looks like yams were baked covered with buttery brown sugar glaze & spices such as ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, & ground ginger. (Maple syrup can be substituted for brown sugar.) You can sprinkle a bit of sea salt on them to cut down a bit on sweetness. (Sweet potatoes & yams are similar but have different taste. Sweet potatoes have sweeter flavor.) Small amount of lingonberries can be found in some forests in U.S. Pacific Northwest, northern Midwest, & New England. Fresh frozen ones are available, but are expensive.

[@DTG_LOCKETT]

[@abremacabre8868]

Candied Yams are a dish in which yams (a potato like tuber with a natural hint of sweetness) are cooked soft in cinnamon, citrus juices (pineapple orange or lemon), butter and brown sugar. They are sweet but pair well with many of the salty, spicy, and savory dishes that make up soul food

soul food, the foods and techniques associated with the African American cuisine of the United States.

Lingonberries are actually pretty easily available here in Minnesota but I believe thats due to a lot of Swedish immigrants coming here. They even grow in some parts of America! some people here call them "cowberry", "partridge berry" or "mountain cranberry" depending on which part of America you're from. My great grandparents immigrated here from Sweden before my grandma(on my dad's side) was born in 1930. I remember eating them a lot when I was a little kid at family holiday celebrations but it has been years! I need to go buy some and try to replicate that brown sauce you guys make! it looks delicious! Another great video! The food down in New Orleans and the south is definitely amazing!!

Something that a lot of people don't realize is that the U.S. is almost the same size (in Square Miles/Kilometers) as the entire European Union, so when Recky was talking about the Diversity of Cultures, they also have that. Spain has a diverse Culture from Italy, Greece has a diverse culture from the UK just like the U.S. South has a diverse Culture from the U.S. North East ('New England' states), and the U.S. East Coast is also very different, food wise, from the U.S. West Coast.

I’m a Southerner and I’m not sure exactly how to define soul food. Once on a school trip to Southeast Arkansas, a friend and I were walking around looking for lunch, and decided to go into a soul food restaurant. We ordered chicken sandwiches. Expected something like a McChicken sandwich, what we got was an entire baked Cornish hen in-between two buns, topped with Cole slaw. That one still baffles me to think about.

[@kevinerose]

Yeah, I'm from Ohio in the north and when I was in the military, the guys from the south would always include Chitterlings and colored greens when they talked about soul food. So I've always thought soul food includes those 2 staples. Now, it seems to be exactly the same foods I was eating when I was growing up under a Kentucky mother. Fried chicken, gravy, biscuits, cornbread, etc. except we never ate Chitterlings or colored greens.

[@janetsmiley6778]

Dear Recy and Carol, where do I start? As a Louisiana native I need to tell you a few things about the fusion of cultures that make us unique. We have food and customs from the Spanish, French and Africa. The staple starch is rice. Rice cannot be grown in northern climates and was, therefore grown primarily in Louisiana and the Carolinas. Yams, sweet potatoes and okra were introduced by the enslaved peoples of Africa and the Caribbean. Fresh water and marine fish and shellfish were abundant and even the poor had access to them. Sausage was affordable and many communities have an annual Boucherie where they butcher a pig and break it down to cook fresh and make sausage. You will never have so much fun than at a Cajun Boucherie with the neighborly atmosphere, the music and the food. I now live in Georgia but some of the best years of my life were in New Orleans where we had so many cultural and food festivals. I would buy fresh vegetables from the many local farmers that would bring their produce into town on their pickup trucks and just park in or near my neighborhood. I had a Creole housekeeper that took under her loving wing and taught me how to make a roux. We would shop together and she taught me so many thing. When I had to move away I Had to drive her home for the last time. We both cried so much that my blouse was wet. My two little boys held her to tightly. We kept in touch after that by telephone. Her name was Florence Johnson. I love you my darling and I'll see you in Heaven.

[@christined6321]

“Soul food” is used when referring to African-American traditional cuisine which is from the South. It’s now being conflated with “Southern food”. It was born out of the African heritage of the enslaved Africans and survival as they were often given the scraps. They created was to make those scraps into something delicious to feed themselves and their families.

[@denisemarcus5633]

Excellent explanation 👏

[@teepat5487]

They are "conflated" because they are historically related. Poor white Southerners ate the same foods that poor black and enslaved Southerners did, and this was even more pronounced in Louisiana where there was much less stigma for Africans, Natives, and Europeans to intermix and intermarry. This is also true for things like music (everyone played country and blues music historically, and just look at the racial diversity in Zydeco and Cajun music historically and today) and dress. Creole women of all "racial" backgrounds wore the same head wrap, for example. It's a shame that we insist on inventing racial divisions when we already have enough of those. It's criminal to do that when the natural tendency for America has been creolization since the beginning, with European, African, Asian, and Native people mixing cultures and making new ones that are shared regardless of skin pigment. The Anglo-American concept of races based on skin colors that have intrinsic, essential characters not shared by other human beings isn't a universally held belief, especially in historical America when there were more regional variations on culture, especially in a place that spoke a different language and was founded by blending different cultures. In Louisiana, our historical understanding of race was more similar to Latin America than New England or even the rest of the Deep South, where even then, again, everyone ate the same food and danced to the same songs. Sincerely, a Creole man.

[@ritayprice3510]

What we in the South call dressing can be a dressing that you put on salad or what other areas of the country call stuffing. It has a crumbled bread or cornbread base with a liquid/broth and usually egg to bind it together. It can have meat in it or without. I grew up with my mom making oyster dressing and love it. Dressing usually has poultry seasonings and sage.

I have to agree. Every time I've been to the UK I've tried to like black pudding but I just don't. Now, when you go north of the border (Scotland), you will likely get the option of haggis instead, which is *delicious* .

Chipotle is pronounced exactly as they did, lol. Don't feel bad about not making dishes from scratch.

Trust that PLENTY of Americans don't make dishes from scratch either, hence the MANY and VARIED brands/flavors of the different cultural cuisine items in every store which makes it easy to share with you :). Yams are sweet potatoes cousin. Sometimes they can be too sweet.

Hi, just an explanation of what Soul Food is. Yes, it feeds your soul, because it is comfort food, but, Soul food is an ethnic cuisine originating in the Southern United States historically pertaining to African-Americans. It’s the cooking that developed from leftovers of the animals, what was readily available and cheap. But, so good!! Was the yellow spice you were thinking of turmeric? There’s also Annatto which originates from the Americas which also gives a yellow color. So, not sure what this restaurant uses.

Being poor is the mother of invention. When all you have is 3 onions, a yard full of dandelions, and the snout of pig, then poof you make pig snout salad. Soul food is the combination of taking really simple ingredients, spices that are available, knowledge the slaves brought from africa, and the fact that you eat it or go hungry. With time, food improves.

You could also make it with a layer of brown sugar over the top, also cooked so it caramelizes and tastes amazing! I bet you guys could grow sweet potatoes/yams yourself and then make some of your own dishes with them.

As Recky pointed out, we have had waves of immigration from all over the world. Each of these groups adapted their cuisine to the ingredients available. And as these groups rubbed up against each other hybrid cuisines developed. Down on the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, we're seeing a lovely new regional cuisine develop. Between 1960-1990's waves of Vietnamese refugees settled on the coast and many went into the restaurant business. There is a blending of the Canjun flavors and ingredients with the Vietnamese. Viet-Cajun and Viet-Texan foods are being born. You find places along the coast which serve traditional Cajun crawfish boils and blackened or southern style fried fish, but they also serve local blue crabs cooked in Vietnamese spices and Viet-Cajun crawfish boils.

Recky, where I live in northern Illinois (specifically Rockford), we've had a Swedish restaurant for generations (Stockholm Inn), and decades ago one of Sweden's kings came there to eat when he was in town. We've had a large population in past decades of Scandinavians (which has now broadened considerably). It turns out that around 1900, they came from Ellis Island with the idea of settling in Chicago. However, it was when they were experiencing a diphtheria epidemic at the time. So, they were told they couldn't stay. Instead, they were to directed to the end of the line--here. Your pronunciation of Chipotle was perfect. I think this is the first time I've seen someone who's never tried hot sauce glop on around 15 drops of the stuff, and survive. Most people work up to it. Yams are known by another name--sweet potatoes. It wasn't until recent years that I started exploring regional foods when on vacation, and so far I've had fried alligator tail (Seminole food) in the Everglades area of Florida; beef steaktips chislic in South Dakota, where there's a list of around 2 doz. unique foods; Southwestern food in New Mexico; fry bread on the Navajo Res.; Cornish pasties (PASS-teas) in Mich.'s Upper Peninsula; a sample of Cajun foods in Louisiana on a food tour, and beaver bacon during a dogsledding trip in Ontario, Canada. Pretty amazing experiences!

The Zatarans gumbo is very good just need more broth to make it more of a soup❤

Availability of ingredients and type of geography often affects cooking styles. Trade with neighboring regions can make a big difference in seasonings too. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla beans and other warm climate spices are a good example.

"Candied Yam" is a sweet potato based dish that combines ingredients like : sweet potatoes (of course) brown sugar butter orange juice the potatoes are cut into a large dice tossed into the casserole dish seasoned with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, etc cover with a ridiculous pile of brown sugar add a ludicrous amount of butter add a bit of liquid bake until the potatoes are tender (this is not something that i enjoy very much; it's too sweet for me. i can eat it, but i prefer a more savory preparation of dry-roasting the potatoes with garlic and rosemary.)

You also have all those American cookbooks that have been sent to you. Make something from scratch! Find something you can easily find the ingredients for and cook it up! 🙂

You are two beautiful souls! Definitely continue your venture down this path. It's fun to watch! You haven't even ventured down their Korean Englishman channel that Josh started. Some absolutely incredible videos there introducing Brits to korean fried chicken, korean BBQ, culture, etc. Its an incredible path!

I have lived in Minnesota for awhile, and there are places to purchase Swedish and other Scandinavian foods.
